Photo editing software give us the ability to apply a vast variety of filters to add subtle…and not so subtle adjustments to photos. For this project, students were to take an original photo and apply a variety of filters to their work, and then share five results that tey found interesting.

While learning our mad Photoshop skills, we just HAVE to exercise our new powers. As the saying goes…”With great power comes great responsibility.” For this project, students took an original photo, then added some elements from other sources to…well, go crazy!
Check out their creations here.
Photographers today have great power. If they don’t like an element of a photo, they can remove it…or add something that wasn’t really there. This type of editing is unethical in photojournalism, but happens all the time in portrait photography and advertising. In this project, students were asked to take a photo, and then remove some distracting elements to make it a better photo. In the slideshow above, the AFTER photo comes first…then the original.

It’s been a rainy winter so far. On one rainy day, the theme for our photo safari of ‘Rainy Day,’ was executed quite well. Check out the student photos here.
Lines and shapes define our world. In this photo safari, the photography students were challenged to find examples on campus that fit the theme, geometry. Their edited photos can be found here.
Beginning photographers have one rule of composition…put your subject in the dead center of the photograph. In photography class, we spend a great deal of time talking about composing interesting photos. One of the most basic rules of composition is the ‘Rule of Thirds‘ which divides the image into thirds horizontally and vertically. Objects of interest are placed along one of the lines or at the intersection of lines.

About once a week, the photography class is tasked with heading out on campus to make a photo that fits a particular theme. One January day, we had a beautiful morning fog. Fog produces a soft, shadow-free light.

Photographers see the world differently. A photograph is a small piece of the world frozen in time and place. In this project, our C-Hawk photographers were tasked with looking at the world differently…looking for faces in everyday objects.

When a slower shutter speed is used, moving objects will be blurred. If the camera is moving, stationary objects will be blurred. For this project the challenge was to experiment with longer shutter speeds to purposefully include blur in the photos. What do you think?

Using a fast shutter speed in photography can freeze motion. For this project, the challenge was to make a photograph with the subject frozen in space…the appearance of zero-gravity.
